+H_SVM_INIT_ABORT
+----------------
+
+ Abort the process of securing an SVM.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ uint64_t hypercall(const uint64_t H_SVM_INIT_ABORT)
+
+Return values
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ One of the following values:
+
+ * H_PARAMETER on successfully cleaning up the state,
+ Hypervisor will return this value to the
+ **guest**, to indicate that the underlying
+ UV_ESM ultracall failed.
+
+ * H_STATE if called after a VM has gone secure (i.e
+ H_SVM_INIT_DONE hypercall was successful).
+
+ * H_UNSUPPORTED if called from a wrong context (e.g. from a
+ normal VM).
+
+Description
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+ Abort the process of securing a virtual machine. This call must
+ be made after a prior call to ``H_SVM_INIT_START`` hypercall and
+ before a call to ``H_SVM_INIT_DONE``.
+
+ On entry into this hypercall the non-volatile GPRs and FPRs are
+ expected to contain the values they had at the time the VM issued
+ the UV_ESM ultracall. Further ``SRR0`` is expected to contain the
+ address of the instruction after the ``UV_ESM`` ultracall and ``SRR1``
+ the MSR value with which to return to the VM.
+
+ This hypercall will cleanup any partial state that was established for
+ the VM since the prior ``H_SVM_INIT_START`` hypercall, including paging
+ out pages that were paged-into secure memory, and issue the
+ ``UV_SVM_TERMINATE`` ultracall to terminate the VM.
+
+ After the partial state is cleaned up, control returns to the VM
+ (**not Ultravisor**), at the address specified in ``SRR0`` with the
+ MSR values set to the value in ``SRR1``.
+
+Use cases
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+ If after a successful call to ``H_SVM_INIT_START``, the Ultravisor
+ encounters an error while securing a virtual machine, either due
+ to lack of resources or because the VM's security information could
+ not be validated, Ultravisor informs the Hypervisor about it.
+ Hypervisor should use this call to clean up any internal state for
+ this virtual machine and return to the VM.
